Posted by ash on 8/27/08 This might not be your style, and I'm not sure if it's mine even... but, my cooperating teacher (I'm a student teacher) made me keep his rule of making them SING for 30 seconds if they're late. Loudly, with melody. He has a file of song lyrics. like "We will rock you" and the lion king's "Circle of life" etc. I don't know how I feel about this?! I haven't had to make a student do it yet because it is only the first days of class so far. I have to start it tomorrow. It works for him because the students like him and his sense of humor. He's been there for 7 years and has made a reputation for himself. Here's my thinking on it: -Students will try desperately not to be late because it is embarrassing for them! - It takes up more class time than I would really like to see? I would recommend getting a pretty strict policy (in your seats when the bell rings!) and STICK TO IT right off the bat so they know you are serious. For me, I have a prompt on the board that relates to class material and I have told them these first couple of days that they will need to be writing about it in their journals (that I will check periodically) before I even have to ask them to do it. Give them something to do when they first come in. I wouldn't give extra time. Tardy should be immediately after the bell rings. 10 seconds late is tardy in my classroom. If you let it go that far, they will push it to 20 and so on. You will have students trickling in long after the bell has rang. Hope this helps?
